The ad provides a semi-realistic job preview in the job duties, but then gets infusing when it goes into the Requirements. The job title is laborer, but knowledge of Microsoft office and operating a forklift is an asset. So many questions come up. The ad provides a very real job preview. It’s very honest in that it lays out a seemingly endless list of responsibilities. Which is good to see and know/ understand what you are getting into. 3. What is the corporate image/brand presented by the advertisement?
What does it tell you about the company and the job? From this Ad, there is no image of brand presented. We don’t even get the name of the company. All we can assume is that either the company wishes to remain anonymous, or it’s a very small company. The fact that it linked from twitter is interesting in itself. It’s showing that they are attempting to appeal to a certain kind of person. A more youthful kind of person. 4. Does the ad assist you in achieving person-organization fit? How? It doesn’t really give you a sense of what kind of organization it is.
In the requirements you must be a good communicator, strong work ethic and get long with others. Assuming that you will be working on a team… It achieves person-organization fit to a degree. The Ad makes it seem exciting to work for Rogers. And that thrill and busyness is something that I’m looking for in a company. AS an HRS student in a Recruitment and Selection course: 1.

There are more things they should be doing if they want to get and retain Generation Year’s 3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this method of recruitment? The advantage to this method is that it is from a government job bank so it reaches a wide range of applicants. The disadvantages to this method is that it only reaches a certain audience.
